It's time. real estate real world where we get to talk to all the cool people and this next guest is no exception I saw him speak here locally in my market a few weeks back and as I was listening to him I took so many notes and I'm like I need to have this guy on my podcast so it's so important to really
Starting point is 00:01:15 listen to what we're doing with our money and as real estate agents is probably one of the biggest challenges I've heard stats that the average real estate agent has several hundred thousand in debt and owes money to IRS because they don't do their taxes. Hopefully we're going to learn some tips and tricks today from my very special guest, Matt Plummer, who is an expert financial and business coach, acclaimed speaker and author transforming real estate success. Matt specializes in empowering real estate agents to create scalable wealth, unlocking true time and money freedom.

By working with Matt, real estate professionals discover how to grow their profits, scale their businesses, and design a life full of opportunities, financial freedom, and lasting success. Welcome, welcome, my friend Matt. Marguerite, I need to take you as like my traveling MC. That was as good as I've heard.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Like, we'll add some, like, music to that, and that'll be the trailer and the intro from being on out. I love it. Oh my goodness. I'm happy to. I'm happy to. I know when you were here, I don't even know that you got a formal introduction, did you? It was get up on stage and go. Yeah, but I know what I'm going to do as soon as I received this recording is that's going to be my introduction. I love it because I, when I was changing clothes today for this, you tell this great story and you'll have to tell it on our show today, your Harley's story. So I've found my Harley shirt because my husband Joe loved his Harley. He wrote it for many years. And he had to sell it a few years ago because he has Parkinson.
Starting point is 00:02:56 So the balance thing didn't work out so well. So we sold the Harley, but I kept all my heart of gear. So there you go. Thank you for joining us today. So I really loved your story. And I would love for you to share it with our audience. Yeah, thanks for having me, Marguerite. It's been great getting to know you here very quickly, right?
Starting point is 00:03:17 In the last 30, 45 days, we've become fairly fast friends. And so, like, my world didn't start, and I didn't end up on this podcast because I sold a ton of real estate or I did this magical thing. It was that actually started before that. 12-ish, Melinda and I had just gotten married. We'd been together forever. But I'd always fought weight. I'd always fought money. I'd always fought addiction.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Like, I had this yo-yo, I always had this yo-yo life, right? The yo-yo weight. I think I'm in the, I will put my name in the hat for the person that has lost and gained 20. pounds the most. But overall, you lost like a hundred pounds or something. Yeah. And so, you know, a decade ago or a little over a decade ago, Melinda and I just got married. I had a successful career in the world of outside sales, was in management. I made, we made good money. We just had no time. Right. And like a lot of people who are trying to figure out marriage and jobs and careers and identity and all of that, just like we ended up on the counselor's couch after 18, 14, 18 months of
Starting point is 00:04:19 marriage, being together for a decade or so. But, you know, I was on one side of the couch. She was on the other. And we were just having an honest conversation with the counselor. And he asked me a very specific question that day. He said, could you go 90 days without a drink? And I didn't go there for alcohol counseling. I didn't go there because I thought I had a drinking problem. It was more, I think, anger and just relationship issues. But, you know, again, like any good counselor or coach, we focus on the problem and not necessarily the symptoms. And I said, I don't know if I can or want to, but she'll still be the same person she has today. And I was looking external and not internal. And this was also, I was 300 pounds. I was an alcoholic. I was an addictive
Starting point is 00:05:00 sports gambler. Smoked a pack, the two packs of cigarette today. You did them all. Yeah. And I didn't even know the financial problems we had. Like those were just masking all of the other things. And he said, Matt, I don't know if you're going to do it or be able to pull it off. but I will tell you this, if you do not make a decision very quickly, you're going to be dead, divorced, and jail or broke in less than 12 months. That must have been hard to hear. And it was really hard to hear, especially with a huge ego and I was the number one sales guy and I was the talk of the town and I was the life of the party when I walked into the bar.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Like, everybody loved me. I just didn't love myself. Crazy. And so that sent me on a journey. I didn't want to stop drinking, didn't want to stop gambling, but I knew I could affect, and I knew I could change what I put into my mouth. And so I found some stuff online. I said, hey, I can drink this meal replacement shake instead of going to McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I can get up off the couch and let me start having some success there. And I saw the scale go to 293 and 289 and 286. And I was like, man, if I just keep making these, I think if you look at NASCAR or Indy car or racing, all they do is just four hours of left-hand turns. they don't ever go anywhere right there's just a mile to three miles it's just around in circles and i'm like if i can just keep making these right hand turns every time i come to the crossroads i'm going to eventually end up in a new place and i started drinking less and i would never show up seven days sober and i think that's important right i think it's important to hear for people as they're
Starting point is 00:06:36 going through this transformation whether it's physical financial emotional spiritual relational whatever it is, I would never show up seven days sober. It was always one, two, zero, six. It was never set. I never went Thursday to Thursday, because Thursday was the day we went to counseling until I was, I made a decision. And the awareness was I was just,
Starting point is 00:06:58 I was done with just pissing away days of sobriety. Like I was just throwing them away because I met Marguerite and we had a cocktail, right? Or I met Bob and we had a drink. Or I played golf and we had a couple of beers on the back porch. And until I made a decision, May 19, 2012, that was the last day I was going to have a drink. And I made that decision driving down I-66 in Northern Virginia. And to this day, I haven't drank since.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And so that steamed all the way to losing 100 pounds, becoming sober, accepting Jesus, changing my marriage. And we ended up on a couch two years later, a $551,000 in debt. Wow. And so I'm like, how did it happen? The answer was, we bought things because we could afford the payment, not because we could afford the thing, turn over and over. Melinda, $29,000 to death on Amazon and Groupon and Living Social, your younger audience has no idea what those subscriptions are. Right. And I $29,000 does to death, the cars, the lifestyle, the hotels, the time shares.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And so I got exposed to some new information, got exposed to Dave Ramsey, started understanding what the Bible said about money, and then the very first lesson of Financial Peace University, 2015, you know, 10 years ago, I heard what Dave was saying. And I was like, that's exactly how I lost 100 pounds. It's exactly how I became sober. It's exactly how we saved our marriage. We're going to smash this. It's just math at this point. And so we went on a journey to lower the water, which I call, which is reducing expenses and reducing lifestyle, which I call lowering the water. Because we've been so for so long, we're on a river trying to get from one side to the other and we're hitting our head against the boat. Or we're hitting our boat against the bridge. So I needed a way to lower the water so the boat could go through the bridge. And then once we got everything paid off, Marguerite, I realized I needed to raise the bridge, which exposed me to the world of real estate because it's the most expensive thing. and people can make the most amount of money doing it. And it's so easy because everybody's doing it on social media.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Until I got my first check and it was $10,000. And I'm like, Marguerite, what would you do with it? And Brent, what would you do with it? And Bob, what would you do with it? And I heard, I didn't hear hire a coach, invest in an admin and do the things, right? Like invest in marketing and have an event. I heard pay last year's taxes and next month's card out. and I immediately shifted from thinking I wanted to go build this massive real estate organization and team that the buyer and seller were no longer my client, you the real estate agent was my client.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So after thousands of conversations and hundreds of financial transformations later, I'm on a podcast with you sharing that real estate agents don't make as much as they think, spend more than they care to admit, and are generally behind on taxes and your retirement that's keeping them on the transaction treadmill forever. So it's interesting because a couple things. Like I was talking to my previous guest and we were talking about a word of the year, right? And I've done word of the year, many years for my career. And the funny thing that came up today, I was literally looking at the list. And I always just kind of choose the word that pops out to me first. And it was the word consistency, which I just heard you say that, right, is the value. And I've been consistent in my real estate career.
Starting point is 00:10:36 So that's been great. But I guess my question to you is it seems that money, finances, all of this is such an emotional conversation, such an emotional thing. Like, I don't want to give up that car or I need to have that house or. And I would imagine that some of it comes from childhood. Like, I grew extremely poor and homeless at a period of time in my life. So then, of course, you take it to the opposite extreme, right? You're like, okay, I'm going to have everything out there.
Starting point is 00:11:06 at the cost and risk of all of the things you talked about. So what are your thoughts on that? I believe that when we get into this world of real estate and selling the largest asset that people are going to buy and making the most amount of money per sale that really anyone can make on a per sale transaction other than maybe a large business or an exit, right? I mean, we're selling $500 to $5 million to $50 million properties
Starting point is 00:11:36 that we're making tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars per transaction, right? And so there's obviously this image that comes along with it of, hey, I want the nice things. I deserve the nice things. And there's nothing wrong with having nice things. I just don't want the nice things to have you. And so I've navigated the and created the wealth method through all of my coaching clients and relationships and just having conversation with people that haven't sold a house in six months to people that sell 50 houses in a month, right? 600 or a thousand houses a year is the number one thing that the two things that cause the most stress and anxiety for real estate agents is inconsistent income and financial disorganization
Starting point is 00:12:17 exactly yeah we can solve those things and then start to implement the wealth method and identifying the five mistakes that agents make and navigating and organizing those to where hey when 10 20 30 40 50 thousand dollars a deal in a month or a quarter or you know whatever comes in we have to have a map and we have to have a blueprint to that money before it even hits our bank account or else that money's going to show up and we're going to get the direct deposit in the wire that marguerite was paid $50,000 and there's now 50 grand news like we can you can go buy anything that you want with a $50,000 check in your back or in your account right you can go to you can go here to Las Vegas and down the strip and buy
Starting point is 00:13:03 anything in you want, except you don't know if there's another deal coming the next month. And so you're going to get out over your skis. And again, I use that as an extreme example. It doesn't mean that you can't get the bag or you can't have the nice golf clubs or you can't have the membership or you can't fly first class. No, you can. You just have to plan it and you just have to organize it. And that has to be a part of the master plan, which is what we do, you know, inside of the wealth department, which is crafting your Oz and designing your blueprint and mapping your money so that you know how many houses and how many conversations and how many people you need to serve so that you can go live your standard life, the life you
Starting point is 00:13:44 want, the life you desire, and your level 10 life. Because those are all three, four, five, six significantly different numbers. And so you just need a plan for it before you go out and just do it. So it's interesting to me because, you know, I'm having a few light-bold moments myself here, right? And one of those things is one thing I've learned about the real estate side, but maybe not on the money side, is that numbers don't lie to you. You know, numbers tell you where to go.
Starting point is 00:14:14 If you know your numbers, you know what to do. For example, if you run an ad and you get no calls, the problem is the ad. If you run an ad and you get a bunch of calls, you get no appointments. The problem is you, right? So it's interesting how that works. And it's also interesting to me that I didn't really look at it from the financial aspect of it. And I would assume that that's one of the biggest mistakes that agents make, correct? Well, yeah, the number one mistake, we can kind of just go through the framework.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I actually talk about it in my e-book, creating stress-free wealth, which is a free download. And we'll be posting a link in our show notes. The number one mistake that agent is. make is they don't have a plan on how to exit selling real estate. So number one, it's like, I'm just going to go sell another 36 houses, another 12 houses, another, I'm going to go get another four deals, or I'm going to go hire and recruit another 12 agents. Like, there is no plan for when you walk into your brokerage on day one that anyone says, here's how you stop selling real estate, right? Investors that are buying and selling real estate
Starting point is 00:15:23 are buying real estate, right? The people that we're helping buy and sell real estate, if they're an investor and they're not just Harry homeowner that's just trying to get from 2025 to 2035 living on three Main Street, if we're looking at through the lens of an investor, most investors are looking at how are they getting out of the deal before they get even into the deal? Like, what's their exit on this?
Starting point is 00:15:47 What are they trying to get from a tax perspective or a cash flow perspective or an appreciation perspective before it even happens. So, the number one thing I want you to do is that the end of this episode is right now, when are you done? When is going to be your throw the phone in the ocean moment? So you don't have to take a listing. Just chuck this thing in. I don't have to do any more reels.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I don't have to do any more listings. I can if I want, but I don't want to at this day and draw a line in the sand and then we build it backwards. And so when we know are crystal clear on when we get to Oz, I literally just drew this out for my, for my workshop attendees is like when we get that crystal clear on what we want and when we want it, 2025 is so much easier. It seems though sometimes overwhelming. The numbers are overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Like I have a friend of mine, an agent back east, and he had, he owed IRS $200,000. And, you know, not including his mortgage, his cars, is everything else. And he's like, I can't keep up with the interest. I can never get that paid off. And so how do you respond to situations like that? So, I mean, I think ultimately for the people that feel like the walls are coming in and they're, you know, the quicksand is building up and the dirt's coming in and they're about ready to subcate is like, I have a saying, stabilize the present to structure. the future. So if we can stabilize the present, right? And that means what does it take to live? How can we just get from the first to the 30? What's it actually take? Not what we want or, hey, we go and eat at Whole Foods versus Publix. I'm talking about the first to the 30. Like, we need oxygen at this point. And that's the only thing that we need to live, right? Because there's a really good chance that we have enough food in our pantry to get us to Sunday. There's a really good chance
Starting point is 00:17:51 that we don't need any more clothes or shoes for the next decade, right? I'm talking about just like these small seemingly insignificant choices that compound over time that, hey, we just need to get from A to B. And we did that when it came to our lifestyle and our car, right? And at the end of 20, eight 2014 or 2015 it was like hey what do we need in our life just to get from a to be so if you have that quarter million dollar tax bill it's just weighing on you right or credit card debt or student loan debt or the cars like just piece by piece right we had all of this massive debt weighing on our chest however like it I couldn't fix it April of 2014 I had to wait I had to get through all of the stuff and just all these little bitty things that just start adding up to where it's like
Starting point is 00:18:44 we've created $1,000, we've created $2,000, we've created $3,000, maybe over six or seven months to where now I can have a conversation with a car dealership and say, hey, how can I get out of this car when I couldn't have done that in February because I was too suffocating. So this is going to be a process. And some people can do it quicker and then others. I'm here to tell you, like, we have the number one largest asset and the thing that we can go sell that if you just put your head down and just make a decision, and that's part of the financial transformation is awareness, decision, and intentionality, when you can just become aware, I got a quarter million dollars and make a decision and I'm going to go run up the scoreboard in 2025 and being intentional with every
Starting point is 00:19:27 dollar, you can radically change the trajectory of your life and your financial snapshot in a very short period of time. You just have to make the decision. Even credit cards now is 29 percent interest or something absolutely insane. I'm hoping some things maybe will change with the new administration. We'll see. But the reality, that kind of debt is. And I've seen it for myself and with my kids getting a credit card. They get a, they get like 50 invitations a month to apply for credit cards. And they want to go to a concert. Huh? They get a free hat and a free t-shirt. Exactly, so that they can pay $10,000 in interest. Yeah, because nobody wakes up. Again, I think, you know, one of the core values and principles that I have with myself and my coaching
Starting point is 00:20:17 clients and my students in the wealth department is say it out loud before you do it. So when I was going through our transformation, I was smoking cigarettes, I had already lost the weight. I was 300 pounds. I'll call like addictive sports gambler and smoke. a pack of cigarette today. Never in my life would you have told me that the cigarettes were going to be the last thing that I kick. Like I had to lose 100 pounds and stop drinking and stop gambling to realize and say it out loud that I'm literally lighting tobacco, nicotine, chemicals, and fiberglass on fire, inhaling smoke into my lungs 20 times a day. So like when you say that, will you ever smoke another cigarette again?
Starting point is 00:21:09 No. So when you look at it through the lens of financial IQ, that's emotional intelligence. When you look at it through the lens of financial intelligence and you're like, all right, I'm going to get this piece of plastic. This is a gift card, right? But let's just say it's, I'm going to get this and there's $10,000 on it. And I'm going to go use this instead of, I don't have my prop here, but instead of money to go buy groceries, you're telling me that this has $10,000 limit and that has a $100 bill.
Starting point is 00:21:38 You're not going to go spend more on this than you are with this? 100%. 100%. So you're going to go to the grocery store and spend $125 versus $100 because you're psychologically thinking that you're going to get rewards and points that when you do the math over the course of a year, you spend $125,000 versus $100,000. dollars, how many flights and airline tickets and hotels could you have bought for $25,000? Well, and we're headed into holiday season.
Starting point is 00:22:11 So let's talk about that. Yeah. And so now, like with the psychology of our generation, whether it's Z, X, Y, millennial, you know, my age, your age, my parents, their parents, right, Melinda's parents. I mean, there's several generations there, like, They don't use credit cards, right? They never use credit cards. And so, you know, buying this thing, these things that we can afford the payment,
Starting point is 00:22:39 or it's just to get us from Black Friday to Christmas to maybe the first of January because we know we have three closings. And closings always close on time. Always. And rates never go to 8%. And there's never anything that that suffocates our nation as an illness and shuts down the entire. That will never happen. Right. And caps never reset and there's never referral fees on deals that we forget about.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Like none of that stuff ever happens, Marguerite, in the world of real estate. Of course. Right. And so, you know, the things that you spend hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of dollars on between now and Christmas, you have forgotten. You bought them and the bill's coming and or you're using this to say, hey, I have a closing that's coming in. I'll buy this thing and then I'll pay it off. You never pay it off. Yeah. And then for the next decade, you're always playing from behind versus playing with the lead, which is where stabilize the present and so structure the future comes in.
Starting point is 00:23:38 So that as we're working through the wealth method of wisdom is earned, the W stands for wisdom, or that's where we make the commitment to Oz. We make the commitment to ourselves that we're going to look at money differently. We make the commitment to ourselves and our business and our spouses and our family. and then the E is earn like this is the where we got to go do the work. E is earn. A is accumulate. That's where you have to earn the money and accumulate the money. Because I want Marguerite to have two, three, four months of cash in a shoebox
Starting point is 00:24:14 under her bed regardless of what's happening in the market because I don't believe any real estate agent on planet earth and the United States today can have enough cash. Yeah. I know I can't. And I'm not even a sole, I'm not even a real estate agent. I don't sell real estate. Right. As a coach, as an online business coach, I cannot have enough cash. Whether it's for my personal life, my business life, future savings, future spending, things that happen to come up, like I cannot have enough cash.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'll put it in the mattress. I'll put it in the high yield savings account. I'll put it in the market where it just earns some interest. That's not, the wear is not necessarily the point. The point is, we can't have enough cash because either something's going to happen or an opportunity is going to come up. And I'm going to say, hey, Marguerite, I've got an opportunity to go buy a rental property. It doesn't fit my matrix, but it fits you. It's in Northern California. I think it'd be great.
Starting point is 00:25:10 You should go by and you and Joe should go by and look at it. Right. If you don't have $250,000 or $500,000 liquid somewhere in the world, like, you just can't go buy it. So there's that famous quote that I've heard many times in my career that says, please, God, give me one more real estate boom, so I won't piss it all away. That's funny. Give me one more boom, right? When in reality, we've got a boom, it's called quarter one, 2025, right?
Starting point is 00:25:43 It's called quarter two, 2025. It's called 2025. Like, there are going to be people. I just interviewed a young lady on my, in my workshop, who has, when I met her and she started working with me, she was selling about $5 to $6 million a year on a team. Today, she has $47 million in inventory. Wow. Made a decision.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Right? I'm not living like my mom lived. I'm not living like the people in my office live. I'm not living. And she lives so far below her means. And her lifestyle is so extravagant. People must think that she makes and spends hundreds and thousands of dollars a month. And I can promise you she doesn't.
Starting point is 00:26:34 But it's because there's no payments and there are no, none of her money is going towards obligations. It's all going towards opportunities. So what do the last three letters mean? We heard W-E-A. Lend and leverage. That's where compound interest starts to come in. That's where investing comes in. T, track, do the math and know your scoreboard.
Starting point is 00:26:57 This is where like budgeting, tracking our net worth, paying attention to our investments. How many appointments do we need to go on to make sure that we hit our numbers? It's not all about just math, right? What's our credit card balances if we have any? What are our car balances? What's our house balances? What's our houseworth? This is where we have to track all of the important metrics.
Starting point is 00:27:15 This is where business owners have to be business owners. This is where real estate agent, take the real estate agent hat off and put their business owner hat on. They put their investor hat on, right? And H is health. This is where consistency and habits are formed. I love it. I love it. I feel like we could talk for hours and hours.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I mean, there's definitely a lot. And I know that you have some great programs out there for people to get engaged in. They can first start by going to Mattplummer.com. It's Matt, P-L-U-M-E. r.com and grab his ebook first and foremost. I grabbed it and I've read it a few times since before we were talking from your event. And it's really fascinating. I think as we wrap up today, probably the thing that's the most impactful to me is that it's all possible, right? Everything is figure outable. But like you said, it feels so overwhelming. And I know for a fact that this is how
Starting point is 00:28:14 the majority of agents out there feel because we just came off of a booming market the last couple years and things were not as easy this last year and people are struggling and I think there's this whole generation I'm sure you can relate to this of real estate agents and consumers frankly that have not seen a down market since 2010 so we're talking almost 15 years so 2010 was the bottom of the market. And I've been 31 years in real estate. That was the bottom. And since then, we've only seen values increase and low interest rates until this year. So even agents who've been 10 years in the business haven't seen a challenging market. And every consumer think I can sell my house every two or three years and make money and move on to the next thing.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah, I joke about this. And I know we're going to wrap, but I have something that I want your listeners to hear as a framework that I'm working through, but then also I'm sharing it with people like yourself. And again, back to your down market. I coined myself as the world's greatest real estate agent because I've never had a listing that didn't, that didn't not sell. Every buyer I met with signed an agreement and bought a house and record time. And I sold real estate actively in Northern Virginia, 17, 18, 19, 21. I was like, it was the nation's capital and like interest rates for three and a half percent. But everybody bought a house.
Starting point is 00:29:40 But if we take that mentality where a lot of people haven't not seen a down market. And up until 36, the last 36 months is when we've seen a price, cost of living has exceeded, has gone up tremendously, right? And just bare essentials, lifestyle, and then I, you know, are not necessities, like luxuries, right? hotels travel etc like it's all gone up and so if we look at what the activity what the average agent or even the the high producing agents were doing in 17 1820 21 and the result they were getting because everybody was moving it was fish in a barrel like it didn't matter your skill set it didn't matter your activity right up to 21 and then as rates started going up the amount of work produced a smaller result and prices went up 15 to 20 percent. And then results or activity has either
Starting point is 00:30:39 stayed the same or gone down. We've had a recession, transaction recession, right? So now you're doing the same amount of work to getting a third to half the amount of income. And now things are 30, 40, 50 percent more. And so now this is just creating this natural squeeze on people that are making $75,000 to $250,000 a year that they don't realize they're getting squeezed, right? It's the frog in the boiling water, like, and you're just moving it up and up. People are not realizing that they're doing the same amount of work. They're making 50% less and things cost 50% more than it did five years ago. And so when people realize that's what's actually happening, and it's not because of administration,
Starting point is 00:31:23 it's because of activity. Activity has not changed. So when activity goes up three X, none of those other stuff is going to matter. And so that would be my leaving, my challenging, my leading and parting words for your audience is double and triple the amount of activity you believe it's required to go sell 24 to 36 houses or 56 or 250 houses next year. And watch what happens over the next three to five years and watch that swing back into your direction because of how much wealth you can go generate in the next. next three to five years, it can happen so fast with the decision and the intentionality. That is so impactful. And I hope that people will really listen because I know, especially even for myself, right, and being vulnerable. I've been through all of this ever. I had bankruptcy
Starting point is 00:32:14 in 2009, right? I've been through every bit of this. And we just have to pay attention and we have to do the work.
